What is the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points (2,- 3)and (4,9)?

1 answer

recall the formula for midpoint:
let Xm = x-coordinate of the midpoint
let Ym = y-coordinate of the midpoint

Xm = (X1 + X2)/2
Ym = (Y1 + Y2)/2

therefore:
Xm = (2+4)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Ym = (-3+9)/2 = 6/2 = 3

thus midpoint is at (3,3)

hope this helps~ :)
